摘要: Abstract. Genetic variations and their relationships to individual fitness have been the major topics in studies of ecology evolution. The concept that a reduction genetic leads lower fecundity termed “inbreeding depression” has predominantly supported by involving laboratory organisms, but rarely tested wild populations. We therefore examined whether diversity among population sika deer (Cervus nippon) on Kinkazan Island, northern Japan, affected neonatal weight is often considered as fitness-related trait. First, weights fawns born during 1994–2004 were recorded, 11 microsatellite loci genotyped obtain 5 different estimates an individual's diversity. To test diversities correlated with weights, multivariate analyses using generalized linear mixed model performed. significantly standardized mul...
